It was a crisp evening in Seoul, Korea. Many have retired to their bedrooms for the night, but not Tony. He stayed outside, cleaning up cow manure to earn a daily wage of one copper coin. Despite his struggle, however, he began to sing.
"I would love nothing more
Than to see you, my amor
You were the one who always brought the liiiiiight.
I would do anything
Absolutely anything
To be in your arms again my amor!
Oh how my heart is beating
For you my love
I'm living
Please my love,
Come back to meeeeeee."
"Quiet boyo and get back to cleanin' them stalls now ya hear?!" his customer bellowed while smoking a fresh pipe.
"Yes sir, sorry sir." he replied, and opted to hum his melodic tune instead.
~Time skip due to cow feces~
Tony leaves the stalls with only a bent copper coin and some bruises. He sighs, "Another night on the street it seems."
"SOMEONE HELP ME!"
He jolts and turns to the source of the screaming. Why, it's by a dusty alleyway a couple of steps away. Tony rushes to the scene and stops by the entrance, only to see two low lives trying to steal a young woman's hard earned currency!
"Give it here little lady! Wouldn't want to mark up dat pretty face o' yurs, now would we?" the criminal says as he slowly glides his knife down the young woman's face.
"P-Please, have mercy!" she screams.
"Hey, leave that poor young lady alone!" Tony marches up to the first grunt and pushes him off the young maiden. She seized the opportunity and ran out of the way to safety.
"Oi! Why did ya do that?! That was our money!" The second grunt yelled and glared at Tony.
"It was not your currency to have. Now please leave or I have to use force."
"Force?! What force? You gonna hit us with yer little arms Francis?"
They began to beat him brutally, Tony's efforts seeming in vain.
The grunts laugh began to laugh as they pushed Tony to the ground, but he stood and returned to a fighting stance.
"Haven't had enough boy?!"
Tony managed a smile, "I could do this all day."
The skirmish continued until the heard the sound of hooves clashing onto ground, "Halt, in the name of King Kim Minchoi!"
The grunts released Tony and ran off into the darkness.
He sunk onto the floor and let out a sigh of relief. The horses stopped right in front of him as he began to slowly loose consciousness.
"Take him back to the castle. He needs medical attention, and soon."
The world went black.
